Sorry to read that Jack Alexander has passed.One half of The Alexander Brothers,he had been in ill health for a while. There's very few,if any ,of the Scottish kilted entertainers of that era left. Andy Stewart,Kenneth McKellar,Callum Kennedy,Jimmy Shand all gone.

At least Steak and Kidney is still with us...................................... I think

Very sad to hear that Roger Lloyd-Pack aka Trigger has passed away so young from that cruel disease. He was so versatile, I once saw him at The Globe and hadn't known he was a Shakespearean actor. He didn't even have to deliver the line on Only Fools and you'd laugh. Right now, I recall: Del: "I thought you said it was open 24hrs?" Trigger: "Yeah but not at night." And the broom joke, his face when Del fell through the bar and "If it's a boy, it will be called Dave,after you Rodney." There are so many - so talented, RIP.

Blow away the dreams that tear you apartBlow away the dreams that break your heartBlow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted

I wouldn't have expected you to agree with me on this.I thought it was a shame that the vid the BBC had about him was the falling through the bar scene. That was a Jason moment, they could have gone back a long way through Roger's career and done justice to him.It just seems a shame to me that someone who started off as long ago as 1965 is remembered for just that silly character, no matter how well he played him, and he did play him well.I'm waffling now, got a chill and am taking whisky to cure it. I'll shut up.
